His career began in the 1968 when he joined the St. Louis Cardinals Class-A Affiliate in St. Petersburg, FL, however, this was only for a brief time before he rose to the Major League ranks (1969) and then that of Head Athletic Trainer with the parent club in 1971. “Geno” had the rare and prestigious honor of work- ing 3 All-Star Games (1982, 1987, 1993…2-1 record) as well as the ultimate goal of every- one in the game by earning 3 trips to the World Series with his Cardinals.

PG 1 our game, in addition to performing our professional duties. The athletes were all very gra- cious, and appreciative of what we do and did for them. Special thanks to PBATS for the privilege of working one, and for the per diem that really helps with the additional ex- penses. What emotions/feelings where you experiencing as you stepped on the field? Lessard: It was a combination Rock Concert/Broadway Show/Sporting Event rolled into one! It seemed like there were 1000 media members on the field during our workout be- fore the HR Derby. Once Lovie and I got to the batting cage, we stayed there because there was nowhere else to stand and actually see the whole field! Lovell: Humility. It is a privilege to work with MLB players on a daily basis. They are all elite athletes. To have the chance to work with the “elite of the elite” was a humbling experi- ence indeed. Looking back what memory or story do you think will stick with you when you relive this experience? Soloff: Sharing the experience with a former colleague in Nick Kenney was one of the highlights for me. Additionally, the memory of working the Home Run Derby with my two sons by my side will stay with my forever. Lessard: We were treated very well by the Kansas Citians! We were able to do our job pre, during and post-game and still feel like you were part of the action. I truly enjoyed being TAPE ENDS there and was happy I could have my wife and daughter there to share it with them.

Cresse was mired in a miserable College World Series before his final at-bat. The senior was 1- for-12 in the CWS prior to his game-winning single. Trey Hodges pitched four scoreless innings for his second win of the tournament. Hodges, who Brad Cresse overcame a slump at the plate to retired 10 of the 11 batters he faced, also picked up a save and was selected as the most out- drive in the title-winning run for LSU June 17. standing player of the College World Series. The catcher’s single to left field scored team - mate Ryan Theriot, giving LSU a 6-5 win over Wayne gave up four hits and four runs in relief of starter Jason Young. Wayne started the fifth St a n f o r d . inning and seven of his first nine outs were strikeouts, four looking. The Tigers’ normally strong offensive game seemed to be silent. But LSU (52-17) tied it in the eighth inning with two home runs, setting up Cresse’s dramatics.
